In my opinion, you make your own luck. I know there is a bit of luck involved with injuries, but it is also partly down to the training, physios and treatments of the players!
However, I have to say, I do feel for you as, in an 'average' season, you have got 89 points yet lost the title by a mere couple of goals. It's incredible how you even got in a position to be in it on the last day, with all the injuries and the lack of big signings!

Not much we can do about Vidic's titanium plated cruciates needing a service and Fletcher getting ill the way he has. Those two have been the biggest misses.
Kagawa doesn't seem like a great fit, but then who'd have thought Carrick and either Giggs and Scholes would work so strongly. If Kagawa does come in, he's reasonably cheap, and if he proves able to play CM he provides fantastic versatility across the whole attacking line, and could form a special midfield with a dynamic ball winner like Fellaini. There aren't too many regista's available that I can think of off the top of my head. Modric is obvious, but I have doubts we could get him now Spurs are in the CL, so perhaps we'll need to think outside of the box on creating our new midfield. Fellaini is the one I really hope comes in though.
